Unit members shall not be required to secure advance permission for leave taken for any of the following reasons: 1. Death or serious illness of a member of the immediate family. 2. Accident, involving their person or property, or the person or property of a member of the immediate family. A maximum of seven (7) days of accumulated leave may be used in any school year for the purposes enumerated above. Unit members must obtain advance permission prior to taking such leave except in those situations specifically enumerated in this section. Personal necessity leave shall not be taken for the purpose of personal business which can be attended to during non-duty hours; a strike or any other activities related to a work stoppage; or extension of a holiday or vacation period. (If directly adjacent to a holiday or the winter or spring vacation period, specific reasons are required.) Unit members may not be prohibited from using personal necessity leave to observe major religious holidays. If the District has reason to believe that this section has been violated, it may request verification. Two (2) of the seven (7) personal necessity days may be taken without prior approval from the District, provided that, in addition to the above requirements, all the following conditions are met: 1. The unit member must give the District office at least three (3) working days notice prior to the leave day. 2. No more than two (2) unit members per school may be absent on such leave during any one (1) duty day.
